1. This CD Amendment, including but not limited to, Attachment A specifically applies to CSG’s performance and/or provision of Content Direct Services (as defined in Attachment A) to Customer and/or its Affiliates, which shall be a Product as identified in the Agreement.

2. Each of CSG and Customer may subcontract its obligations under this Agreement to a third-party contractor with whom such party to the Agreement has entered into an agreement that (a) contains obligations of confidentiality no less restrictive than the terms provided in the Agreement, and (b) contains such third-party contractor’s express agreement to comply with all applicable restrictions set forth in the Agreement (a “Qualified Third Party Contractor”). Customer shall be liable for the acts or omissions of its third-party contractors (including, but not limited to, Qualified Third Party Contractors) to the same extent that liability to Customer would accrue under this Agreement if such acts or omissions had been performed or made by Customer.

CSG acknowledges and agrees that it is responsible for its Affiliates’ and agents’ (including, but not limited to, its Qualified Third-Party Contractors’) compliance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement (including, but not limited to, this CD Amendment). Accordingly, CSG shall be liable to Customer for the acts and omissions of its Affiliates and agents, including, but not limited to, Media, to the same extent that liability to Customer would accrue under this Agreement if such acts or omissions had been performed or made by CSG.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF the parties hereto have caused this Amendment to be executed by their duly authorized representatives.

  iii. The problem was caused by Customer’s or a third party’s software or equipment (including, if applicable, Customer’s Media Playback Application), not provided or approved by CSG;

 

  iv. The problem was caused by Customer’s accessing of the Content Direct System or Content Direct Services on any hardware, operating system or network environment not supported by CSG in accordance with this Schedule I or a statement of work; and/or

 

  v. The problem is attributable to the Customer’s failure to use Compatible Interfaces (as defined on Schedule B).

If Customer requests that CSG provide maintenance and support or similar services that are excluded from the above definition of Support Services, the parties may enter into a statement of work authorizing CSG to provide the additional maintenance and support and similar services.

Customer acknowledges that neither the Production Environment nor the IOT Environment are intended or engineered to perform high volume “stress” or performance testing against the Content

Direct System and absent CSG’s prior written approval Customer shall not, nor authorize or permit any third party to perform Performance Testing. “Performance Testing” in the IOT Environments or the Production Environment shall mean greater than *********** **** ********** ************ per business unit. In the event of a breach of the restrictions on Performance Testing, CSG may, without notice, temporarily suspend Customer’s access to the Production Environment or IOT Environment. If CSG discovers unauthorized Performance Testing conducted by Customer or any third party using Customer’s business unit(s), CSG agrees to (A) use its commercially reasonable best efforts to promptly mitigate any adverse consequences on the Content Direct System and any damages (to CSG, Media or any third party using the Content Direct System) as a result of such Performance Testing, and (B) promptly notify Customer of such Performance Testing and explain CSG’s efforts to mitigate the consequences and damages resulting therefrom.

Customer Responsibility to Maintain Post Go-Live

After a given Content Direct System deployment has been deployed into the Production Environment, Customer is principally responsible for managing the day-to-day operations of such deployment, including, by way of example only, Storefront changes, refreshing or adding new Customer Content and Merchandise, encoding or transcoding Customer Content, continued product and pricing configuration, syndication and marketing services. Customer may discharge such responsibility itself, through a third-party (subject to the applicable limitations set forth in this CD Amendment) or by requesting CSG to provide such support. CSG may provide support to Customer on a Content Direct System deployment either pursuant to a statement of work entered into by the parties that specifies the specific CD Professional Services or support to be provided or, Customer may request in writing and CSG shall provide such CD Professional Services or support on an ad hoc basis.

4. Grants. The rights, obligations and restrictions in this Section 4 are exclusive to the provision of Services under this CD Amendment and the terms of Section 12 - License Grant of the Agreement are not applicable to the provision of Services under this CD Amendment (provided that the definition of the term “Affiliate” shall nevertheless continue to have the definition set forth in such Section 12, as provided above in Section 1 of this Attachment A).

 

  a. CSG to Customer.

 

  (i) CSG hereby grants Customer and its Affiliates a non-exclusive and non-transferable (except as set forth in Section 29 of the Agreement), non-sublicensable, perpetual (but only during the CD Amendment Term and any applicable Termination Assistance Period), limited, worldwide right and license for it and its Affiliates and its and their respective employees and Qualified Third Party Contractors to access and use the Content Direct System, Documentation and (upon making such available to Customer) the Deliverables in the IOT Environments and the Production Environment for the sole purposes of receiving and using the Content Direct Services for Customer’s and its Affiliates’ own business purposes and operations. The parties acknowledge that the initial configuration of each Content Direct System solution deployed under this Agreement for Customer or its Affiliate shall be described in a statement of work executed by the parties.

 

  (ii)

CSG shall provide Customer with unique and confidential access codes, and access and use of the Content Direct System shall be by Content Direct Web Services (e.g., those listed in Schedule B) or web-enabled user interface access only, and nothing in the Agreement as amended (including this CD Amendment) shall entitle Customer or any Consumer to delivery of the object or source code relating to the Content Direct System. Customer shall have the right to copy and distribute internally the Documentation as reasonably required to support its use of the Content Direct System. Unless otherwise ordered by Customer in a different language, the Content Direct Services are provided in the English (US) language. Additional languages for the Consumer Experiences listed in Schedule B are available subject to an

Customer acknowledges that except as specifically requested by Customer and provided in an statement of work executed by the parties, the Content Direct Services do not include any digital rights management content protection or license delivery and management services (“DRM”), content delivery network (“CDN”) services, signal capture or encoding/transcoding of Customer Content, and that, as between CSG and Customer, Customer is responsible (directly or through a third-party designee) to provide DRM, CDN services, and encoding/transcoding for its Customer Content.

 

  b. Restrictions. Customer shall not, nor authorize or permit any third party to (i) disclose Customer’s unique access codes to any entity other than Customer’s and/or its Affiliates’ authorized employees and Qualified Third Party Contractors, (ii) reproduce, allow use of or access to the Content Direct System or sell, rent, lease, use in a service bureau, sublicense or otherwise transfer or assign its rights to access and use the Content Direct System, in whole or in part, to a third party, unless explicitly provided herein, (iii) alter, enhance or otherwise modify or create derivative works of or from the Content Direct System; (iv) disassemble, decompile, reverse engineer or otherwise attempt to derive the source code of the Content Direct System; or (v) remove or destroy any proprietary markings, confidential legends or any trademarks or trade names of Media or its licensors placed upon or contained within the Content Direct System, Software, Documentation or Deliverables. Customer will use its commercially reasonable efforts to avoid posting or transmitting into the Content Direct System any software or Customer Content that contains a virus. Customer shall be responsible for the improper use or disclosure of any of Customer’s unique access codes by Customer’s employees, Qualified Third Party Contractors or any third party that accesses the Content Direct System through the Customer’s unique access codes. Customer will not be responsible for any third party access resulting from the acts or omissions of CSG, Media, CSG’s other agents or another CSG client.

 

  c. Web Services Validation. Customer will comply with the Content Direct Web Services Standards. As used herein, “Content Direct Web Services Standards” mean those rules, specifications and standards that relate to Customer’s use of the Content Direct Web Services to integrate with the Content Direct System, as referenced in the Documentation.

5. No Consequential Damages/Limitations of Liability. The terms provided in this Section 5 are exclusive to the provision of Services under this CD Amendment and the terms of Section 17, No Consequential Damages/Limitation of Liability, of the Agreement are not applicable to the provision of Services under this CD Amendment.

Customer acknowledges that, except for such amounts that (i) may have been prepaid for goods and/or services not received by Customer, (ii) in connection with a breach of warranty, or (iii) in connection with the return of products as provided in Section 13(b)(ii)(C) of the Agreement, it shall not be due any refund of any Fees incurred, paid or payable under this CD Amendment or a statement of work if Customer terminates this CD Amendment pursuant to this Section 6.d. The parties acknowledge that as of the Effective Date none of the Fees described in the CD Platform Fee Schedule set forth in Section 10 of this Attachment A are a prepayment for goods and/or services, and such Fees are therefore not subject to refund (if and as invoiced and paid) in the event Customer terminates this CD Amendment pursuant to this Section 6.

If Customer requests that CSG provide the foregoing information in a form different than that held by CSG in the Content Direct System, or requests CSG to perform any other services to Customer to transition Customer’s Consumer offering beyond the return of the foregoing information (collectively, the “Content Direct Termination Assistance”), Customer acknowledges that such Content Direct Termination Assistance may be provided by CSG at its discretion, for the CD Professional Services fees provided in Section 10 below and the parties will enter into a separate statement of work or other agreement to document the specific Content Direct Termination Assistance to be provided, the specific Termination Assistance Period and the applicable fees. Customer acknowledges that conditions precedent to CSG’s performance of any Content Direct Termination Assistance are Customer’s obligations to pay CSG any Undisputed Fees related to the Content Direct Services or other amounts outstanding, due or payable to CSG with respect to the Content Direct Services as of the date (or as a result) of the expiration or termination of the relevant statement of work.

Privacy, Data Transfer and Security Obligations.

 

  a. The Parties acknowledge that in order for CSG to provide Customer with Services, it will be necessary for Customer to disclose to CSG certain Consumer Information, which Consumer Information will be processed and stored (subject to the terms of the CD Amendment and applicable law) in the United States. The Parties further acknowledge that with respect to the Consumer Information, (i) Customer acts as a “data controller” (or an equivalent term under applicable law); and (ii) CSG acts as a “data processor” (or an equivalent term under applicable law), on behalf of and pursuant to, the instructions of Customer in order to comply with its obligations under this CD Amendment and under applicable law.

 

  b.

Customer represents that it complies, and warrants that is shall during the CD Amendment Term continue to comply with applicable laws in relation to the offer and publication of Customer Content, including limiting the offering of Customer Content to those countries, territories and jurisdictions where such Customer Content is permitted by applicable law, and the collection, use, export and disclosure of Consumer Information.

Customer shall indemnify, defend at its own expense and hold CSG and Media harmless from any claims or actions for damages made by third parties and asserted against CSG resulting from Customer’s breach of its

 

Page 16 of 22

  representations, warranties and covenants set forth in this Section 15.b. (a “Local Compliance Claim”). Customer’s indemnification obligation under this Section 15.b. is subject to the provisions of Section 13(f) of the Agreement.

 

  c. CSG shall: (i) comply with its obligations under all applicable laws and regulations regarding the collection, use, duplication and disclosure of Consumer Information and Consumer Usage Data, (ii) comply and maintain annual compliance with the Visa Cardholder Security Information Program and PCI Data Security Standards (the “PCI Standards”) and will, upon Customer’s request, provide evidence of such compliance, (iii) implement and maintain reasonable and appropriate organizational, technical and other security measures to protect the confidentiality of Consumer Information and Consumer Usage Data and prevent any unauthorized or unlawful processing, alteration, display, publication or disclosure of, and access to, such Consumer Information and Consumer Usage Data, (iv) not duplicate, copy, reproduce or use any Consumer Information (or any portion thereof) or Consumer Usage Data other than for back-up purposes and as required to perform the Services under this CD Amendment; (v) limit access to the Consumer Information and Consumer Usage Data to Qualified Parties; (vi) only use Consumer Information and Consumer Usage Data for the purposes of fulfilling its obligations under the Agreement, and CSG will not disclose or otherwise process such Consumer Information and Consumer Usage Data except upon Customer’s instructions in writing; and (vii) notify Customer in writing and obtain Customer’s consent before sharing any Consumer Information and Consumer Usage Data with any government authorities or other third parties; provided, that CSG shall not require Customer’s consent to disclose or transfer Consumer Information or Consumer Usage Data (as applicable) to a third party (including, as applicable, the provider of CSG’s Payment Gateway Services) that is specifically and expressly identified in a statement of work executed by Customer as being a permitted recipient of such Consumer Information or Consumer Usage Data (foregoing clauses (i) through (vii) collectively referred to as the “Security Measures”). “Qualified Parties” means CSG employees or contractors (A) who have a bona fide need to access the applicable information in connection with the performance of CSG’s obligations hereunder, and (B) who have executed an agreement with CSG or its Qualified Third Party Contractor (including Media) that is no less restrictive than the provisions set forth in Exhibit B-1(c) of the Agreement. CSG shall (I) take all reasonably necessary precautions to protect the Consumer Information and Consumer Usage Data in connection with disclosures to its employees and contractors; (II) ensure that its employees’ and contractors’ use of the Consumer Information and Consumer Usage Data is strictly in accordance with the limitations contained in the Agreement, and (III) be responsible for the acts or omissions of such third parties with respect to their use of the Consumer Information and Consumer Usage Data and shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Customer, its impacted Affiliates and its and their respective officers, directors, members, shareholders, partners, employees, agents and legal representatives (“Customer Indemnitees”) from and against any and all claims and suits brought and liabilities, expenses, attorneys’ fees or damages claimed by a third party other than an Affiliate of the Customer Indemnitees for any breach by such third party of CSG’s obligations with respect to the Consumer Information and Consumer Usage Data. For clarity, CSG’s indemnification obligation under this Section 15(c) is subject to the provisions of Section 13(f) of the Agreement and, to the extent such third party’s acts or omissions constitute a Security Breach, Section 5 of this CD Amendment.

 

  d. CSG represents that it adheres to the U.S.-European Union (“EU”) Safe Harbor Framework (“Safe Harbor”) that protects the transfer of certain Consumer Information from the EU (including Switzerland) to the U.S., and has received acknowledgment from the U.S. Department of Commerce that CSG is self-certified under the Safe Harbor (the “Safe Harbor Certification”). CSG agrees to maintain such Safe Harbor Certification during the CD Amendment Term. If at any time CSG no longer participates in, or meets the requirements of, Safe Harbor, CSG shall provide Customer with prompt written notice to Customer, at which time the Parties shall engage in good faith negotiations to execute an amendment to this CD Amendment that incorporates terms and conditions that protect Consumer Information to the same extent as Safe Harbor.

***   Confidential Treatment Requested and the Redacted Material has been separately filed with the Commission.

 

  e. In the event of the unauthorized access to, disclosure of or use of Consumer Information or Consumer Usage Data in violation of this Section 15 not caused by the acts or omissions of Customer or the intentional or willful breach of this Agreement by CSG, Media or their Affiliates and/or agents (a “Security Breach”), CSG shall indemnify, defend at its own expense and hold the Customer Indemnitees harmless from (i) any governmental inquiries and investigations imposed upon CSG or Customer by any governmental authority having proper jurisdiction over such Security Breach and (ii) any claims asserted against any Customer Indemnitee by a third party other than an Affiliate of such Customer Indemnitees arising from such Security Breach (collectively, an “Indemnified Security Breach Claim”). For clarity, CSG’s indemnification obligation with respect to an Indemnified Security Breach Claim under this Section 15.e. is subject to the provisions of Section 13(f) of the Agreement and Section 5 of this Attachment A to the CD Amendment. Damages incurred directly by Customer for a Security Breach shall not be subject to indemnification by CSG but instead shall be subject to a claim by Customer for CSG’s breach of this Section 15 (a “Direct Security Breach Claim”), subject to Section 5 of this Attachment A to the CD Amendment. If CSG is responsible for a Security Breach and applicable law requires CSG to provide (A) notification to public authorities, individuals, or other persons, or (B) undertake other remedial measures (including, without limitation, notice, credit monitoring services and the establishment of a call center to respond to inquiries (each of the foregoing a “Remedial Action”)), then CSG shall, at CSG’s cost, undertake such Remedial Actions and the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by CSG to provide Remedial Actions may be applied against the Direct Security Breach Cap. If the release of Consumer Information or Consumer Usage Data was caused by Customer, then Customer shall be responsible for the costs and expenses relative to such Remedial Actions and Customer shall also promptly reimburse CSG for the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by CSG to provide Remedial Actions. The parties acknowledge that to the extent that claims and suits brought and liabilities, expenses, attorneys’ fees or damages claimed are caused by a Security Breach, such claims and suits brought and liabilities, expenses, attorneys’ fees or damages shall be addressed under this Section 15, and not be deemed a breach of Section 21 (Confidentiality) of the Agreement.

 

  f. CSG shall provide at its expense on an annual basis a Service Organization Report for facilities controlled by CSG and/or its Affiliates, including, but not limited to, Media, that store, transmit, or process Consumer Information or Consumer Usage Data in connection with CSG’s provision of Content Direct Services. For purposes of this CD Amendment, a “Service Organization Report” or “SOR” is a report or reports of controls, generally accepted in the industry, in the areas of financial reporting, security, privacy, confidentiality, system availability or processing integrity for the services provided by a hosted solutions provider, service organization, service bureau or other similarly structured provider of software and hardware solutions. CSG shall provide Customer access to a copy of the most current SOR(s) that relate to the Services provided by CSG to Customer; provided that Customer shall treat such SORs as Confidential Information pursuant to the provisions of the Agreement.

SCHEDULE B

CONTENT DIRECT SERVICES

The Content Direct System is packaged as a set of Content Direct Application Server Modules (listed below) that provide their capabilities through a set of Content Direct Web Services (listed below) to a portfolio of Content Direct user applications, including Consumer Experiences (listed below).

This Schedule B identifies the Content Direct System as generally available as of the Effective Date. The Content Direct System is specifically defined in the Documentation, and the references on this Schedule B to available application server modules and Consumer Experiences are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Documentation. The specific Content Direct System provided by CSG to Customer shall be prescribed in each SOW executed under this CD Amendment. Customer acknowledges that the Content Direct System shall not include the telecommunications connections to and from the Internet, the Compatible Interfaces (as defined below), the CD Embedded Site and, if provisioned, a Performance Testing Environment.

For purposes of defining the Fees payable under this CD Amendment and each statement of work executed under this CD Amendment, all of the Content Direct Application Server Modules, Content Direct Web Services, Back Office Applications, Third-Party Products and Content Direct Environments identified below are collectively referred to as the “Base CD Platform.” For the avoidance of doubt, all Consumer Experiences deployed under a statement of work from time to time are excluded from the Base CD Platform; therefore, Consumer Experiences are subject to additional and discrete license/rights fees as set forth in Section 10 entitled “Content Direct System and Services Fees” of Attachment A to this CD Amendment.

Back Office Applications

 

 

Customer Care Portal is a web-based application that provides the authorized users of Customer, using security identifiers, with a broad view of the Consumer’s relationship and a set of customer care transactions including member enrollment, lifecycle management, purchase history, payment history, member management, credits, adjustments, and trouble ticketing. Access to the Customer Care Portal is security driven.

 

 

Invision Content Studio is a web-based application that provides authorized users of Customer, using security identifiers, with an application to manage content metadata as well as manage bundling, discount, pricing, and segmentation rules.

 

 

Reporting Portal is a web-based application that provides authorized users of Customer, using security identifiers, operational, marketing and financial reporting.

Third-Party Products

 

 

Payment Processor Gateway Service. The Content Direct Services are integrated with a payment processor gateway partner for effective and secure credit card payment processing. The payment processor gateway encrypts Consumer Information to ensure that information passes securely between the Content Direct Services and Customer’s credit card processing partner to authorize credit cards and settle credit card transactions for deposit of funds with the Customer’s designated merchant bank (the “Payment Processor Gateway Service”). CSG will provide the Payment Processor Gateway Service to Customer as part of the Content Direct Services; provided Customer must establish its own relationship with its merchant bank.

 

 

Taxing. The Content Direct Services are integrated with taxing software from ********* ***. (“********”). Customer will not be charged for the use of the standard U.S. and International Sales and Use Module from ********. If Customer needs taxing capabilities other than the standard U.S. and International Sales and Use Module, or Customer requests to utilize taxing software from a provider other than ********, the Parties will negotiate the fees, terms and conditions applicable to such additional taxing software and configuration.

Supported Content Direct Environments

 

 

CSG will make available to Customer **** environments as part of Customer’s deployment of the Content Direct System: (*) the Production Environment and (*) IOT Environments for the purpose of staging, integration and development collectively referred to as “IOT Environments.

 

 

The “Production Environment” is the shared, live production environment on which a Customer may utilize the Content Direct System with Consumers. The Production Environment is subject to the Support Services set forth in Schedule I and the Performance Standards and Remedies set forth on Schedule G and Exhibit G-1 and in Sections 11, 12 and 13 of Attachment A of this CD Amendment, for the provision of Content Direct Services.

The **** non-production IOT Environments shared by Customer, CSG and one or more customers of the Content Direct Services are made available to allow Customer to develop and/or test Software updates or releases that are pre-production, or for such other required configurations or designs to be determined between the parties. The IOT Environments, at the discretion of CSG, may maintain a smaller hardware foot-print, or be virtualized within a datacenter, but will at a minimum make available the then-current release of the Software available on the Production Environment. The IOT Environments are subject to the Support Services set forth on Schedule I for the provision of Content Direct Services, but are not subject to any Performance Standards or related Remedies.
